Maggie Rogers Leads Star-Studded Free-Speech Rally at the Kennedy Center—See the Unmissable Moments

Indie-pop powerhouse Maggie Rogers has put the finishing touches on her forthcoming fourth studio album, telling Variety’s Instagram audience that she is “currently mastering the record” and that the new music “feels like Sunday afternoon—very relaxed, very casual.” Although a release date is still under wraps, fans won’t have to wait long to hear the fresh material live. Rogers has upgraded to arenas for The Don’t Forget Me Tour, Part II, a 19-city North American run that opens 9 October at Austin’s Moody Center and wraps 29 October at Seattle’s Climate Pledge Arena. Stops in major markets including Chicago, Toronto, New York’s Madison Square Garden and Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena mark the largest headline venues of her career. Artist presale begins Wednesday at 10 a.m. local time with general on-sale following Friday via Ticketmaster; VIP packages bundle early entry and exclusive merch. The still-untitled album will be Rogers’ first full-length since 2024’s critically acclaimed Don’t Forget Me, a record she co-produced with Ian Fitchuk in just five writing sessions. Described by Rogers as “worn-in denim” folk-rock built for “belting at full volume alone in your car,” the LP debuted in the Top 10 of the Billboard 200 and spawned the fan-favorite title track. According to the singer-songwriter, much of the new project was tracked live to preserve “character and heart,” suggesting a continuation of the organic, first-take energy that made Don’t Forget Me resonate. Industry chatter points to an early-summer single drop, positioning the album’s full release just ahead of the fall arena trek—prime timing for streaming playlists and year-end lists alike.
